Check out this awesomeness...again...campusbookrental.com

Tis the season to try and save a little cash after the money hemorrhage that the Christmas season can be. A lot of friends of mine are doing things like the 52 week savings plan or Make Do January or Low spend January. So that's why I was super excited when www.CampusBookRentals.com contacted me again asking if I wouldn't mind giving a bit of a shout our to the students out there who are trying to save some cash this January.

If you don't remember my last post about them here are some of the awesome things about them and renting your textbooks; (again sorry Canadian student friends, they don't ship to Canada yet.)

- save 40-90% off of bookstore prices
- free shipping both ways
- can highlight in the textbooks
- flexible renting periods- 21 day guarantee. If you drop the class or don't need the book. You have 21 days to return it for a full refund.- with every textbook rented a portion of the proceeds goes to Operation Smile

Still need a little convincing?

Pretty awesome huh?!

Want to know what else it pretty awesome? RentBack, the new initiative that allows students to rent the textbooks they own - to other students which is awesome because it makes students 2-4 times more money compared to what they'd make through buyback options! (selling their books back at the end of the semester) Isn't that awesome?! I remember when I sold my textbooks in University I chose to sell them through the campus bookstore. The consignment cheque I got was always so disappointing!! One textbook I had I couldn't even sell...so I still have it. It's currently in storage in Canada. Which textbook you might ask? My astronomy textbook. Yup, I failed it the first time around so sure I didn't need to buy a textbook the second time around but now I'm stuck with it forever. Oh the irony.

So a quick recap

- They save you money

- They donate to Operation smile

- FREE SHIPPING

- And you can rentback

So much awesome in one place!!!

Hooray for new link ups!! Michelle over at The American Resident has started a link up called "Where I live." It's not just for us silly expats either. It's about loving where you live and wanting to share it with the world. I'm a day late with my post but better late than never right?
This weeks prompt is "the dark sides of where you live or have lived, but the one condition of this linky is to put a positive spin on your posts. Feel free to vent about the bad stuff this week, but match each negative with a contrasting positive!" I know most people are shocked to find out that sometimes living in the land of chocolate and scary efficiency isn't all it's cracked up to be. There are pros and cons to living basically any where in the world and Switzerland is no exception. Con: Switzerland is EXPENSIVE! Let me throw some numbers at you. Compared to Canada the price of rent is 81% higher. The cost of groceries is 47% higher. The cost of eating out is…

I spent much of the day I found out my Oma passed away not knowing if I could get back to Canada in time for the funeral. I started doing some mental math with dates and over and over again with the various scenarios I came up with I ended up with, "I don't think I could make it on time." When my paternal Oma passed away the choice was made for me. Financially we couldn't make it work. We had just spent a whole lot of money moving overseas so when she passed away 6 months later I had no choice. I had to stay here.
This time I had a choice for the most part.
Late Saturday night is when we found out when the funeral was happening.
Thursday.
It was Saturday night.
We could make this happen.
Johnathan made all the travel plans. There was 1 seat left on the flight from Zurich to Iceland and my butt was going to be in it. This meant I was going on my own. Johnathan was staying behind.
I will admit the very thought of making the trip by myself, then carrying my Oma'…

I joined roller derby because I was lost. I didn't have anything that was just mine. I didn't have anything that connected with me and that made me super proud of myself. I in my mid 20's and wanted more out of life and I wanted a challenge. I needed a challenge. Roller derby found me when I needed it most. It broke me down in some of the most amazing and humbling ways but in turn it built me back up in to a much better person. Derby made me a better wife, a better friend (despite all the times I couldn't do things because of derby), a better employee, a better daughter and a better advocate for myself. Roller derby drew a line through my life, I was consistently caught between giving up completely and seeing how much more I could take.
Turns out I can take a lot.
I retired a year ago.
8.5 years of derby came to an end one night last September during my teams Annual General Meeting. I was surrounded by my beloved team mates. My long suffering derby widow/husband and…
